List members may be interested in attending this joint ESRC, British Library, Academy of Social Sciences event on 'Security and surveillance – has it gone too far?' at the British Library on Tuesday 13th March 2012, 6.30 – 8.00pm (followed by pay bar).
Increased surveillance, security checks and CCTV are used more and more often to support efforts to fight crime and terrorism. But what impact do all these measures have on our perceptions of our personal security and civil liberties? Join:
• Chair: Professor Bridget Hutter, Professor of Risk Regulation at the London School of Economics.
• Dr Kirstie Ball, Reader in Surveillance and Organisation, Open University.
• Dr Peter Fussey, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, University of Essex.
Book your place via the British Library’s website: www.bl.uk/whatson or for more information contact: [log in to unmask]
This on-going series of debates looks at significant public and social issues, challenge some of the common myths and assumptions we make, and show the role social science plays to explain what is happening and point the way to solutions.
